During October Guidance each student at Monroe decorated a "quilt square" to help create a "Monroe is quilted together against drugs" Quilt. The final product was pretty incredible!
During Red Ribbon Week, students signed a Healthy Lifestyle pledge by writing their name on a piece of paper. We link all of these pieces of paper together to form chains that were hung up all over Monroe to show that Monroe is commited to a drug-free and healthy life!
We also had a door decoration contest. We sure have some creative Mustangs!! The winners were announced in Good Morning Monroe-- congratulations to all of our winners and a big thank you to everyone that decorated a door this year!
